Comment(by charkins):

 I haven't really had any time to work on pidgin lately (but I keep hoping
 I'll find some). If I remember correctly, the problem with this particular
 bug is that we don't have any padding available in the ui_ops structure
 for the docklet, which means a solution would either have to wait until
 3.0.0, or we'd need to hack around that limitation by having the ui
 implementations duplicate some code to listen to "new mail" signals
 directly and respond accordingly. We only have 2 docklet implementations
 in tree at the moment (though it'd be nice to get the GtkStatusIcon
 implementation in as well), so this approach would not be unreasonable in
 the short term.

 I'll try my best to find some time in the next couple weeks and see if I
 can clear out some of these easier docklet tickets.
